Abstract

A support system for and method of supporting a printing screen unit (103) in a screen printing machine. In one aspect the support system includes a support assembly (115) comprising: a support unit (117) for supporting the printing screen unit, the printing screen unit comprising a printing screen (105) including printing apertures (106) through which printing medium is printed onto a workpiece (W); and a clamping mechanism (121a,121b) for clamping the printing screen; and a control unit (116) for controlling operation of the support assembly, wherein the control unit is configured to operate the clamping mechanism to clamp the printing screen in a printing phase in printing printing medium onto the workpiece so as to fix the lateral, in-plane position of the printing screen, and release the printing screen in a separation phase in separating the printing screen and the workpiece.
